Chloe Sinclair regretted the words as soon as they left her mouth, a flash of panic in her eyes.
After her rebirth, her relationship with Jasper Shaw had been strictly that of collaborators; they had never made any progress beyond that.
'What will Jasper Shaw think of me for asking so abruptly today?'
Chloe Sinclair stared, unblinking, at Jasper Shaw's face, watching for any change in his expression.
She saw the man's Adam's apple bob, his eyes cold and stern.
Chloe Sinclair grew even more nervous.
"I..."
Chloe Sinclair's mind raced as she tried to think of some way to salvage the situation.
However, the next moment, the man suddenly lowered his head, his cold eyes filled with sincerity. "I do."
Chloe Sinclair's lips parted slightly, but she was unable to react for a long moment.
She understood every word Jasper Shaw said.
But what did they mean when put together?
She could feel her little heart pounding relentlessly in her chest.
"I like you, Chloe Sinclair."
